subject: System timers

I am operating several computers running os2 for years.  We are running
custom software which comes with some dlls and 5 executables.  The problem
comes when we try to execute lots (> 15) instances of a single
executable.  The os/2 systems runs out of timers?
The software developers added a status line which reports the number of
free timers which helps.  But unitl they reengineer the software, can
anything be done to improve this situation
Can the number of system timers be increased?
It also seems when timers are running low, it causes os/2 or other programs
to eventually crash the os.  Is this possible?
And are there other side effects to operating with low number of timers
available?  What happens when os/2 requests a timer and there is none
available?
